BANGKOK, Nov 26 (TNA) - Thailand's foreign ministry on Thursday stood firm that convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is using the name "Takki Shinegra" in his foreign passports despite the former premier's denial.
Panit Wikitset, Thailand’s deputy foreign minister, reaffirmed that the ministry has received a report from an authoritative source confirming that Mr Thaksin has changed his name to "Takki Shinegra" and new passport numbers issued by Nigaragua and Montenegro even though Mr Thaksin denied that in his Twitter message.
Mr Panit declined to disclose his 'authoritative source' but said he was confident about the information regarding the ex-premier's new name.
"Mr Thaksin has been using his new passports issued by those countries with the changed name since his Thai passport was cancelled while travelling to (other) countries,” he said. "Once the Thai government sought cooperation from those countries to locate Mr Thaksin's location, the answers received were that there was no "Thaksin Shinawatra" on the immigration list.
